Hey guys!

So, after completing last year’s Great Manchester Run in just under an hour, I’ve decided to hit the road once more in an attempt to smash that time! This year I'll also have my girlfriend Mel joining me at the run, as after seeing how great the atmosphere was last year she really wanted to take part too!

I’m taking on this challenge to support Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital Charity, a cause that is really close to my heart. This is not an easy task for me, but after visiting the hospital and witnessing first-hand the wonderful services it provides for poorly children across Greater Manchester, I knew I had to do my bit. 

All donations the Charity raises supports areas of treatment, care and research at the hospital, improving the overall facilities and service it can provide for these children. Many of these children are dealing with life threatening and debilitating illnesses; they are some of the bravest children I have ever come across, but they are still just children and so it’s crucial that we support them where we can by making places less clinical and more comfortable.

So all that’s left for me to do now is limber up the limbs, lace up and let loose! Great Manchester Run, I’m comin’ to get you!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and please, dig deep, don’t be shy and remember pennies make pounds
